Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two features you require in order to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is essentially the disk space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may have additional requirements when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with one company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting companies offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one single web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each host has at least two nameservers - ns1.steinmetzhosting.com and ns2.steinmetzhosting.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable Web Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being online and being able to set up mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you get with a web hosting account. In case you run a business online portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. That's why you demand a reliable web hosting firm that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting service.
